CHICAGO — Connor Bedard scored with 54 seconds left and Arvid Soderblom made 30 saves, helping the Chicago Blackhawks beat the New York Islanders 5-3. Teuvo Teravainen had a goal and two assists for Chicago in the opener of a three-game homestand. Taylor Hall, Ilya Mikheyev and Connor Murphy also scored. Bedard snapped a tie with his seventh goal of the season. His shot from the low slot trickled just past Ilya Sorokin, and it looked as if the goaltender might have knocked it in as he tried to scramble back to the puck. The Blackhawks had dropped seven of eight, including a 4-1 loss at New Jersey on Saturday.
